Dick’s Drive-In Salutes, Sates Veterans

  • Post author:

Dick's DeluxeAs they do every year, Dick’s Drive-In will be offering a free hamburger or cheeseburger to any veteran or active military service person who shows ID on Thursday, November 11th (Veteran’s Day). Dick Spady, the Dick’s founder, served in the Navy in WW II and the Air Force in the Korean War. He met his wife when she was serving in Navy in 1954.

Dick’s, we salute you.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    Looks great, but I think it should read “I.D.” like “identification and not “idea.”

    Aw, Ron, isn’t that lowering the bar? I mean, if they can just show identification, and not have any ideas, how is this country ever going to right itself?

    OK, OK, correcting my typo.

    I thought this was a neighborhood blog… that photo is not of the Wallingford Dick’s.

    I never noticed the difference in the signs. Isn’t that Holman road Dick’s?

    A HUGE THANK YOU doesn’t even come close to how much appreciation I have for our Veterans, past and present.

    THANK YOU,
    Steve
